Hello Everybody,

Have you ever gotten up in the morning
and found yourself out of coffee? As in
no coffee anywhere to be found that could
be brewed or made? I'm sure you have, as
has everyone. But fear not. There is a
solution to your problem. The perfect
substitute has been found -

Substitute for Coffee
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Take sound ripe acorns, wash them while
in the shell, dry them, and parch until
they open, take the shell off, roast
with a little bacon fat, and you will
have a splendid cup of coffee.
